Patent CA-2413507-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KOBAYASHI TOSHIKAZU
IPC: G11B7/085
Filed: 2002-03-08
Abstract: A control signal based on a focus error signal is masked to avoid the influence of an unnecessary light component during a period based on the moving speed of an objective lens at the time of layer jump. Subsequently, observation of the control signal based on the focus error signal is resumed  and a brake signal is delivered to the objective lens thus turning a focus servo on. Accuracy of layer jump is thereby enhanced when an unnecessary lig ht component exists at the interlayer part of the focus error signal.

Title: Conservative garbage collectors that can be used with general memory allocators
Inventor: RODRIGUEZ-RIVERA GUSTAVO
IPC: G06F12/02
Filed: 2001-09-13
Abstract: A technique that permits a conservative garbage collector to be used with the heap management functions provided by an allocator which is independent of the garbage collector. The allocator and the garbage collector (139) employ a malloc table (319) to exchange information about the heap (125). When the allocator determines that determines that garbage collection is required, the allocator makes a current heap map in the malloc table that specifies the location of each block in the current heap and whether the block is collectible by the garbage collector. The allocator then invokes the garbage collector, which uses the current heap map in its mark cycle to make a mark list that indicates which of the heap blocks are pointed to by apparent pointers in the processer's address space.
